Air Source Heat Pumps in Faygate
Air source heat pumps in Faygate from an F-Gas certified company, with the manufacturer’s warranty terms explained on your quote. We reply to enquiries the same working day.
- Checking emitters for a heat pump
- Working out where a cylinder could go
- Choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air
The process
Protection comes first: sheets over the floor and any furniture nearby, and we ask before moving anything. After that, anything electrical is made safe and we start. It takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved, and we tidy up before we leave. Work in Faygate is booked in advance at a time that suits you.
- It starts with a conversation about the home, the existing heating and your plans.
- The survey measures heat loss room by room and looks at radiators, hot water and the best spot for the outdoor unit.
- The price comes back fixed and in writing, with the grant and VAT shown line by line.
- The outdoor unit, the indoor equipment and the controls are installed and connected.
- Once it’s running correctly, the MCS certificate is issued and we show you the settings.
Before we arrive
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow

How we handle air source heat pumps in Faygate
An air-to-water heat pump heats water to a lower temperature than a typical boiler, so radiators may need to be larger to give out the same heat. The survey shows which rooms are fine and which need changes, and the quote sets it out. If the problem is wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating and working out where a cylinder could go, we can help.
Homes around Faygate normally have room outside for a heat pump, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company and NICEIC approved for electrical work, MCS certified for heat pumps and a Checkatrade member. Refrigerant work is done by engineers who hold the F-gas qualifications the law requires.

What a heat pump looks like in Faygate
Faygate is about 29 miles from central London, well within the area we cover from our base in East Grinstead. About 42% of homes across Faygate and its surrounding area have been built since 2000, according to VOA council tax data. Newer homes usually lose less heat, which tends to suit a heat pump well.
If your home is one of the older properties near St Francis' Church, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.
Faygate is about 3 miles north-east of Horsham, in West Sussex. Whatever kind of property you have in Faygate, we can help with air source heat pumps.

Signs you need air source heat pumps in Faygate
Some homes heated by electric heaters or storage heaters consider a heat pump instead. The survey tells you whether it’s practical and what’s involved, and we explain the grant position for your home.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Radiators that may be too small for a heat pump
- Finding a place for the outdoor unit
- A boiler that is getting old
If your home is near Faygate station and heated by a gas boiler, an air-to-water heat pump can replace it where the survey shows it suits.
What your quote should include
- What the manufacturer’s warranty covers and for how long
- How VAT is shown, and which rate applies
- What paperwork you will receive afterwards
What owners can safely do
Keep a note of anything odd: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.
Owner care supports servicing; it doesn’t replace it. Clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should, but the refrigerant circuit, the electrics and the parts you cannot see still need an engineer at the interval the manufacturer recommends.
What the work involves, system by system
Outdoor unit position and planning
Permitted development conditions in England include an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 m³ and must meet MCS 020(a) and not be used solely for cooling. Listed building curtilages are excluded.
VAT on heat pumps
Heat pumps in homes carry 0% VAT until 31 March 2027, and 5% after that following HMRC’s rules on energy-saving materials. It doesn’t apply to businesses.

Faygate: your questions answered
Is Faygate in your area for air source heat pumps?
Yes, Faygate is within the area we cover. Just ring us on 07833 053749 with a few details.
Is the heat pump grant available in Faygate?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Faygate is in England, where it applies. Air-to-water and ground source systems attract £7,500. Air-to-air gets £2,500, but only where it takes over from fossil-fuel heating and covers the whole home’s heating demand. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
How long does a heat pump installation take?
It takes anything from a couple of days for air-to-air to the best part of a week for air-to-water with radiator changes. The cylinder, the radiators and the pipework make the biggest difference and the timing is set out with your quote.
How soon will you get back to me?
You’ll hear from us the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes. Each visit is written up, and any work on the refrigerant circuit goes in the F-Gas records. Keep them with the manual and the warranty documents.
What warranty do I get?
Warranty is the manufacturer’s own, on its terms. Terms differ by brand, and we set them out on your quote.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump?
It varies from room to room. The survey compares each radiator with the room’s needs and the quote shows what’s needed.
